AUGUST SCHUMACHER, QF FLUSHING, NEW YORK.

BRUSH.

Application tiled April 29, 1922. Serial No. 557,290.

To all 'whom zt may concern.'

Be it known that I, AUGUST SCHUMACHER, a citizen of the` United States, residin at Flushing, in the county of Queens and tate of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Brushes, of which the following is a specification. 4

The object of this invention is to provide a shaving brush, the handle of which contains a supply of cream, with means for forcing a quantit of this cream into the bristles when desired.

Another object of the invention is to pro-l vide means for refilling the handle of the brush with cream when necessary.

This invention also consists in certain V other features 'ofconstruction and in the combination and arrangement ofthe several parts, to rbe hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the sev- 1 make changes 1n the constructlon and 1n the eral views, and in which Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a brush constructed in accordance with my invention.

Fig. 2 is ,a side'view showing the arranged for filling the reservoir.

Fig. 3 is a view taken along line 3 3 ofv Fig. 1.

In these views 1 indicates the hollow handle of the brush to which the bristle-carrying part 2 is secured. A central opening 3 1s arranged in this part 2. A cylinder 4 ts in the hollow handle and the inner end carries a nozzle 5 which projects through the opening 3 into a space 6 formed by the bristles. A screw shaft 7 has its lower end rotatably mounted in the inner end of the cvlinder 4 and its upper end passes through the top or outer end of the cylinder and has secured thereto a disc 8, whereby the shaft can be turned. A circular plate 9 is placed in the cylinderand has a screw threaded openin through which the shaft 7 passes. This p ate 9 is held against rotary movement by means of the rod 10 which is carriedv by the cylinder' and en ages a notch 11 in the plate. The cylin er is' held in parts the hollow handle by means of the screw cap 12. I prefer to use stiffer bristles around the space 6 rthan are used for the rest of the brush so that these bristles will act to keep the space 6, open. The cylinder provided with an opening 13 through whichthe cream may be introduced into the cylinder. l

When the brush is to be used the disc 8 is turned which will cause the shaft 7v to revolve and this movement ofthe shaft will cause the plate 9 to move downwardly, thus forcing some of the cream through the nozzle 5 into the space 6 where it will pass between the bristles when the brush is used.

When the cylinder is empty it can be easily combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.

' What I claim/isz- A brush of the class described comprising a hollow handle, bristles at one end 0f the handle, said bristles being arranged to form a space at thecenter thereof, a cylinder located in the handle and having a lilling opening therein whichl is covered by the handle when the parts are in assembled position, a nozzle carried by the cylinder and projecting into the space formed by the bristles, a screw cap for the cylinder, a screw shaft rotatably mounted in the cylinder and passing through the cap, a handle on the outer end of the shaft, a disc within the cylinder and through which .the .shaft passes, a rod in the cylinder engaging a notch in the disc for preventing rotary movement lof the disc and screw threads on the cylinder and hollow handle for detachably connecting them together.

In testimony whereof I affix my signaum AUGUSTSOHUMACHER,
